Off-topic, but I picked up The Flash Chronicles Volume 2 and was wondering, did each issue have 2 separate stories in them are they only giving me the covers for the actually Flash issues?

Secondly, why is this Volume 2 but it starts with issue 107? Shouldn't it be issue 7 if there are six issues per volume?

To answer your second question: the Golden Age Flash (Jay Garrick) appeared in Flash Comics from 1940-1949 when it ended at issues 104. Once the Silver Age Flash (Barry Allen) got his own series (after his first few stories in Showcase) DC started a second series of "The Flash" in 1959 but started the numbering where the original series left off, so issue 105.

I have to say I am really impressed with Mattel on this one. This is probably the first figure released from them in nearly a year that feels like it was actually put together with good materials. The joints on mine are extremely tight (and boy, do I mean tight, as there are some I really need to use force to move), which is great for a character that runs like Flash. Secondly, the paint job on him is nearly flawless. Outside of the line on the front part of the neck not connecting with the backside on one side of his neck (you can see it in the pic of him talking with Zoom), I have no complaints at all. The eyes look very detailed, the costume looks great, and the sculpted insignia along the detailed sculpting on the mask and boots make this figure really pop. I love it. I could do without the yellow lines over his body, but that is a minor nitpick. Speaking of nitpicking, there is one true complaint with the figure. The arms, the lower legs from the swivel and below, and the hip hinges on the top portion of the legs are a different shade of red compared to the rest of the body and mid-section of the upper legs.

Despite that issue, like I said, I am really impressed and if all of the New 52 figures come out like this, I might just have to collect them after all. Nevertheless, I am glad I got this figure and this might be my favorite Flash figure over all.

Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.

Wow, I haven't seen a DCU figure at Walmart since... when was the Captain Boomerang wave?

LOL. Never heard of him. I see them a lot at Kmart. Not really sure if my other Walmart's have them.

The walmart they are at is not quick to blow stuff out. They were like the last store in the area to blow out their thundercats stuff, and in fact still have a few scattered TC items lying around in various piles.

Figures they had include devilman, samurai, toyman, and some translucent orange bald dude. Probably had a lot of others, it's just that I'm not familiar with any of them.

Yeah sometimes I don't get it. Other Wal-Marts in my area got the waves & even clearanced the old stuff out. But the one that is super close and convenient must think that Ulta Humanite wave is made of gold or something.

NO DYLAMUG? WE DIAL A MOB!The Space Mutants are missing something CRITAcal!

Well things might be looking up, I went today & they put out Atom, Wonder Woman, Lex & Scarecrow! Wonder what else they have in the back just waiting for the 4 rows of duds to clear out? A blue Flash perhaps? Cause Lefty...I mean Anti-Monitor really needs to get finished.

K-Mart was no better, while they had a bigger & better selection, I can get everything they had cheaper on Amazon.

Still haven't seen any of the Red Robin wave, no DC Unlimited & only Bats & Bane Movie Masters. Grr. On a side note, I haven't seen a Marvel Legends figure in what seems like forever.
